I would like to extend a special invitation to you to join an organization that is unique in that faculty, staff, and students of ISU become members. Omicron Delta Kappa is a National Leadership Honor Society founded December 3, 1914 at Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia by 15 student and faculty leaders. The founders formulated the idea that leadership of exceptional quality and versatility in college should be recognized, that representatives in all phases of college life should cooperate in worthwhile endeavors, and that outstanding students, faculty, and administrators should meet on a basis of mutual interest, understanding, and helpfulness. OΔK® was the first college honor society of a national scope to give recognition and honor for meritorious leadership and service in extracurricular activities and to encourage development of general campus citizenship. Since its founding, Omicron Delta Kappa has initiated over 300,000 members.

The Society recognizes achievement in the following five areas:• Scholarship • Athletics • Campus/ Community Service, Social/Religious Activities, and Campus Government • Journalism, Speech and the Mass Media • Creative and Performing Arts
